I Built a Fun Name-Based Love Calculator — Here's How It Works

A while back, I built a small side project called NameLoveCalculator — a simple tool that takes two names and generates a fun compatibility score.

Why I Built It

Love calculators have been an internet staple for decades. People type in two names, hit a button, and get a percentage. It's silly, it's nostalgic, and it's a great way to spark conversations or add some fun to a group chat.

I wanted to build a clean, fast, no-signup version that works well on mobile.

How It Works

The tool uses a simple algorithm based on letter values and name patterns to generate a compatibility percentage. No login, no ads blocking the experience — just enter two names and get an instant result.

Try It Out

You can check it out here: NameLoveCalculator

Would love feedback from the community — especially on UX or any features you'd want to see added (zodiac matching, FLAMES game, etc.)

Thanks for reading!
